The Leash

Don't listen to those who try to tell you what to do.
It's your choice in the end that's controlling you.
But the drugs you're taking now are killing your mind.
Destroying your life and keeping you alive.

Another long night brings another day in the dark.
Another crawl through the gutter's left it's mark.
And the things you've done in the night just don't ring true.
The confusion won't life now this time you're through.

There is no escaping there's no way to turn around.
What you thought was helping you will put you in the ground.
You're betting on the chances that someone will rescue you.
When you've been abandoned the leash will control you.

What you say and do are two different things.
The mind you thought was yours, in fact is gone.
Waking up in filth, look where you are.
Hands of time are closing you won't get very far.

There is no escaping there's no way to turn around.
What you thought was helping you will put you in the ground.
You're betting on the chances that someone will rescue you.
When you've been abandoned the leash will control you.

Your life drips away through the holes in your nose.
You live and breathe and sleep now just for one cause.
And the eyes your looking through have closed for good
When you see the world holds no cure for you.

Think through the dark fog of your ruined brain.
It's not that you're the master you're in chains.
And what makes you feel so high has brought you down.
And the people on your side are letting you drown.

There is no escaping there's no way to turn around.
What you thought was helping you will put you in the ground.
You're betting on the chances that someone will rescue you.
When you've been abandoned the leash will control you.
